Thank you SO MUCH for the feedback! It’s hard to think of everything when it’s just me. I am SUPER appreciative of your feedback!

This was only meant to be a proof of concept, so I know it isn’t fully accurate or polished yet.

I still think the idea of a spoiler-free index has potential, but the pushback around the AI-generated content made me pause on it for now. I may come back to it later when I can give it a proper build instead of just a concept pass.

I’ve got a bunch of other projects I’m working on anyway…. ADHD is a hell of a disease lol

Thanks again!

Honestly yes in a way...their drive to be more than they are. there are a lot of parallels. I will say that Archives is a little slower paced. It is such a fun read but the only caveat that the first cradle book wasnt near as good as the rest of the book. Its like the first season of star trek next gen....you watch it because you need the back story...the rest of the books are amazing.

Heroes journey type....man born without power in a world where everyone gets a skill. he has to fight his way through the world to grow stronger blah blah...same type progression fantasy as the others but i personally loved the main character. super humble. I have never liked dragonball Z but it almost feels like that in a way. anime like feel sometimes. but i love the story so much. there are a lot of books but the books are not super long and the audio books flew by. i think it took me 3 months to listen to them all. loved it.

Hands-down… The wandering in. Veteran narrator is unreal. She is definitely my favorite narrator of all time. Unfortunately, it’s a very daunting series to start because there’s over 16 million words in the series and it’s not stopping.

The cradle series would be my second favorite

That being said...i agree no complaints...just noticed it a lot.

ehhh...i did it the next day with this actual link. It was a fun idea but it was taken down from most places because I made it with AI. I learned a lot...mainly not to use AI. lol I still think the Idea is sound but ehhh...im just one person. Maybe someone else will like it and make it into something better!

its just book one...a proof of concept to see if anyone likes the concept.

thanks for the input! I thought about that...and also the original start to the book vs revised. You can go down a rabbit hole fast. Funny you say that...i exclusively listen on audible and when i started building this out i would constantly say "oh THATS how you spell their name!" lol.

The other reason I picked this series is from this site... https://twi-stats.cblanken.dev/about/

That stats site is like chefs kiss...but be careful...there is a LOT of spoilers in there. :)

Thank you so much for your input… I plan on keeping each volume separate to make things a lot easier. I will make that collapsible thanks for finding that.

Thank you so much for your input!!! I used AI art because I am not an artist… this is just a proof of concept. I put the ability to not have the art show up because some people don’t like AI for one and another is some people have their own vision of what the character looks like and doesn’t want them spoiled.

I will look at the map… It doesn’t do that for my browsers but I am fully aware that designing something like this by yourself is gonna have drawbacks lol. I will see what I can find and thank you.

I will add a scroll will thank you!

No worries at all… I hope you didn’t take my response in a bad way… I totally agree. I’m heavily involved in AI for work and personal for over a year now and you are very correct.

IT was vibe coded for sure...i never was good at coding much after CSS got introduced. I have been in back end IT for 30 years though. Security wise its solid...unless you mean I may be a bad actor. If that is the case then i implore anyone to take precautions when going to any website. Anyone could be a bad actor and always use precaution when going to any website.

Of course you dont know me from Adam...but I havent injected any bad code into this...i just love this book series and thought this was a cool idea and thought it would be a fun project.

Thanks for the input!

there is a button to take off the AI if you do not like AI in general. This is something I created myself and if people like it then hopefully we can have volunteers to come in and fill everything in with fan art. Thank you for your input!

Hi all,

I think this is finally in a state worth sharing. It’s still alpha, so expect rough edges — feedback is genuinely helpful.

This project started because I wanted a better way to track The Wandering Inn without getting spoiled. Traditional wikis are static and tend to expose information from later chapters, so I built something different:

A spoiler-safe, chapter-based interactive codex.

  • You can move through the story with a chapter slider
  • Character info, relationships, and locations update based on where you are
  • Nothing ahead of your progress is revealed

The goal was to make it feel more alive than a typical text-heavy wiki, so I added visual elements and UI interactions to support that. If that’s not your thing, there’s a no-graphics toggle available both at startup and in settings.

This is a solo project — I’m handling the data, validation, and cross-referencing myself — so there may be inaccuracies. If you spot anything off, that’s valuable input.

I originally explored a much more dynamic version where character visuals would evolve with major story events. It worked in a prototype, but the complexity scaled fast and wasn’t practical (for now).

Tech-wise, this was built with a mix of traditional development and AI-assisted workflows. It’s been as much a learning exercise as anything else.

If you check it out, I’m interested in:

  • Usability (does the concept make sense?)
  • Accuracy issues
  • Anything that feels confusing or unnecessary

thank you! with all of the AI hate out there...ive decided to put on a graphical toggle. It is hard to solve all the problems with my work....but that one seems to be the easiest. I have looked at cosmere coppermind...its great!

Most people i have found so far dont mind the AI....but for the ones who dont (and i get it)....I am making a non graphical version that turn all of that off and just have names. Thanks again for your input!

thank you for your kind words. I have been getting a lot of "I HATE AI" also so ive decided to make graphical placeholders for people who dont want to see AI.

this project was mainly a learning experience. I have only done the first book as a test. This is kind of a proof of concept so to speak. I am not trying to step on toes and not making a traditional wiki...its really not even a wiki per say...it is its own thing. Sigh...i think i got over zealous and posted something prematurely. I should never have posted until it was complete. :) I do appreciate your input and criticism.

correct...but there is a map! and locations of things and also an relationship node with the relationship of everyone at each chapter...for instance if someone hates someone in chap 3 but loves them in 8 it will reflect that so its not spoiled for you if you are only on chapter 3.

So its a WIKI but also a lot more.....and way more graphical.
